IP-Only Picks Extreme

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Extreme Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR) today announced that Swedish telecom operator and ISP, IP-Only has standardized on Extreme Networks® BlackDiamond® 12K Carrier Ethernet switch in its newly rebuilt, all-Ethernet network. IP-Only boldly phased out all SDH and Layer 3 equipment in favor of Ethernet switches that are connected directly over wavelengths, yielding a more reliable and economical Ethernet service network spanning several countries.

IP-Only, an independent Swedish carrier focusing on companies that have high demands for bandwidth, accessibility and reliability, is one of only four facilities-based operators in Sweden. IP-Only considers itself an efficient operator with a philosophy to consistently deliver clean, simple, yet very powerful services and focus only on their core strength -- a massive infrastructure and backbone that acts as a traffic exchange with content providers, nationally and internationally.

“Our philosophy is to offer our customers higher bandwidth and reliability for their money than our competitors do,” said Mikael Philipsson, CTO of IP-Only. “Using our Ethernet service, our customers can connect their branches and offices at significantly lower cost and higher bandwidth than they would be able to using the SDH-based solutions offered by other operators. The BlackDiamond 12K from Extreme Networks is critical to this solution.”
